WHEREAS, the Holder is the record and beneficial owner of certain warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), issued pursuant to (i) the letter agreement, dated as of July 19, 2016, by and between the Company and Rodman & Renshaw, a unit of H.C.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder have agreed to amend those certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Existing Warrants”), dated as of July 25, 2016, and August 3, 2016, issued by the Company and delivered to the Holder, in the manner provided in this Amendment (the Existing Warrants, as so amended, the “Warrants”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

Section 1.Amendment to Warrant.  The Existing Warrants are amended by replacing the fourth sentence of Section 3(d) of each Existing Warrant in its entirety with the following sentence:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, if the Fundamental Transaction is a result of a transaction which has not been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall not have the option to require the Company to purchase its Warrant.”

Section 2.Miscellaneous.

(A)No Other Amendment.  Except for the matters set forth in this Amendment, all other terms of the Warrants shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
